Warrior Academy Unveils New Dojo And Pioneering Confidence Programme In UAE

The Warrior Academy, renowned as the largest martial arts organization in the region, has unveiled its latest dojo in Arjan, Dubai, covering an expansive area of 3,784 sq ft. This establishment marks a significant milestone following the Academy's impressive growth over the past four years in the Middle East. Catering to children aged two to 17, this new dojo represents the third branch of the UAE's premier Martial Arts Academy, renowned for instilling strong values and life skills in its students. Highlighting the Academy's ambition, plans are underway to further extend its footprint across nine cities in the GCC within the next three years.

Alongside the dojo's inauguration, the Warrior Academy has launched its Confidence Accelerator Programme, an award-winning initiative designed to boost a child's confidence significantly within 30 days. The programme, delivered by a world-class team including national, European, and world champions, aims to guide parents and educators in fostering well-rounded, confident, and socially responsible individuals. The Arjan dojo, hosting this programme, is set to become one of the Middle East's only dedicated Character Development Centres, focusing on mental and emotional growth alongside physical training.

Sebastian Bates, the Founder of the Warrior Academy and the mind behind the Confidence Accelerator Programme, is a two-time best-selling author and philanthropist. His programme, inspired by his book 'The Warrior Method', concentrates on nurturing Confidence, Conduct, and Concentration in youths. This promising venture has already shown substantial success, with parents reporting an 82% average increase in their child's confidence within a year and a notable improvement in focus and exam grades.

The recent launch in the UAE is supported by a study highlighting the daily challenges faced by 1,000 parents, including the need to spend quality family time and improve their child's behaviour and confidence. Bates emphasizes the importance of character development in children, stating that confidence, concentration, and conduct form the core of a child's character. The Confidence Accelerator Programme employs meditation, mindfulness, and engaging exercises to address these aspects effectively.

With an overwhelming demand from parents and an 800-strong waiting list for the new academy, Bates announced the opening of an additional 100 places, reflecting the community's anticipation and support. The Warrior Academy's approach, integrating Freestyle Taekwondo, underscores the holistic benefits of martial arts, including character development, confidence building, and physical health.

Parents interested in the Confidence Accelerator Programme are encouraged to visit the Warrior Academy's website or the new Arjan dojo for more information on how to enrol their children and contribute to their holistic development.
